Shut the **** up and dont post **** like this to get your newly 2+2 account some posts because ur old acc was proberly banned - lol my theory

This thread was very well written and I really enjoyed reading it. I think the thing that seperates Ivey from the rest is he is simply better to put all those little pieces of information together
- bet sizeing, timing, table image, +1 level thinking, good math, allmost never tilts, opponents emotional state, opponents view of your emotional state, oponents view of ur view of his emotional state, history if he played them before, opponent line analyzeing with bet timing, fast adjusting, changing gears, taking diffrent lines to confuse opponents about his hand strengh... ect ect ect... all kind of diffrent information he thinks about.

Also I think Ivey is very good at playing his opponent on the psycological level, and I think thats even more important in high stakes games, than lower stakes, simply because people are higher level thinkers

great post

Damnit you guys saying it's a good read and I saw it and thought "tl;dr" what to do?!?

Ivey is my poker hero.

Ivey's reactions to bad beats is something that ALL poker players should mimic.

indeed... i missed a theme in ur post OP. just a bunch of mumbo jumbo like the politicians do without really saying anything

yeah i love no home jerome

I think about the "not talking poker strategy" thing, that in a way you could say when he steps away from the poker table, he's still playing poker, or at least in some form doing something to improve or not affect his EV by not talking about how he thinks about the game. This also impresses me, because its like he lives for the poker.

I used to argue that Ivey is the most over-rated poker player ever "which I still Believe", then he made the final 9 in the ME. So I'll wait a year or 2 before revisiting the Ivey is over-rated in poker. Until then I will remind you that he is the most over-rated Craps player ever. You fanboys think hes making money off Craps, the math tells a different story.

Easy to play when you don't need the money and have nothing to lose, unlike most of us. Not to say he isn't the best all-round player in the world, or maybe ever. Nice article.

meh.

i really don't get why this confused, aimless post which has absolutely nothing worthwhile to say is getting so much love.

ah come on, no seas pendejo

vnh OP
never expected this in NVG too
ty

lol people like you exist.

What I admire most about Ivey is he is probably the biggest name poker player never to write a book. He just does his thing and wins.

Gary Wise posts on 2+2?

Great Read.

Yeah! how dare someone not like a thread that you do. Give em hell!

kinda thought OP read like a Patrick Bateman monologue

its true ivey is a mysterious guy

good read op

I don't think ivey is overrated one bit considering he plays the least amount of hands each year among the nosebleed players and consistently wins the most. His winrates in online games are nothing short of incredible.

Exactly

+1.

Is it just me or are players who write books not that good to begin with? I mean, not extraordinary and figure they need the cash just in case their above average but not top of the range skill set starts getting unlucky.

+1 OP, good read

The incredible thing about the lakers pic is that he prob didn't even know someone was lookin at him and he was being baller as usual.
